See Faces Of The 'Thugs' Who Snatched The Senate's Mace (Photos)

Following
mixed reactions and comments on who were involved in the incident at
the National Assembly today, photos have shown the moments some young
men walked away with the mace.

We reported earlier today
that some suspected thugs led by a suspended senator, Ovie Omo-Agege,
invaded the National Assembly's chamber and made away with the Senate's
Mace after disrupting the lawmakers' plenary session.

At least 10 suspected thugs who came to the venue with the senator
forced their entrance into the chamber, and few seconds later, the thugs
ran out of the chamber with the mace causing pandemonium in the Senate.

This had generated an uproar, with the house of representatives
suspending its activities to solidarise with members of the red chamber.

There have been different comments on who did what in the
embarrassing act but some pictures show the moment some young men
snatched the mace and walked out of the chamber with it.
